Taxes for year with OPT and H1B
Hi,
I was on OPT from January through July 2006, I did not work August and September and resumed working in H1B status in October. Even while on OPT taxes were withheld for social security and medicare. Should I file taxes separately? One for while on OPT and the other for while on H1B? The company just gave one W2, so I'm not sure what to do.
I am claiming my brother as a dependent, since he is on F1 status. He has no income, we share an apartment and I pay his tuition. Any suggestions/advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
